I grew up happily in a particular family, but around time I turned thirteen... One day, in the kitchen,“Who am I?”, “Where've I come from?”, “What my purpose is”—human life is a chance to get answers to the identity questions.
I grew up happily in a particular family, but around time I turned thirteen... One day, in the kitchen, my mother is there, washing and talking to me... I'm sitting at the table, eating something. And suddenly it occurred to me, “This lady is speaking like she totally knows me. Like I'm very known to her. And I am assuming that I know her very well.” I started scrutinizing her face, and for a few moments I couldn't recognize, who she was. And I thought, “This is totally bizarre circumstance.” Then I started looking at myself in the mirror, and I couldn't recognize, who I was. And I thought, “This is extra-bizarre. Trés bizarre...”Bhakti Sudhir Goswaminoyes2. I Feel Therefore I Seekhttp://podcast.goswami.tv/2-i-feel-therefore-i-seek-2/

A saying of Descartes: “Cogito, ergo sum.” Because I think I can understand from that that I exist. But that is sat, existence, and cit, cognizance or awareness that I exist. This is what separates us from inert matter. Sat, cit, then, a third aspect comes into awareness: I exist for some purpose. So, ānanda. Sat-cit-ānanda: pleasure, happiness, joy, ecstasy. Consciousness allows me to feel those things. But it also allows me to feel sad, unhappy, pain, su ering.Bhakti Sudhir Goswaminoyes3. Boob Culturehttp://podcast.goswami.tv/3-boob-culture/

Here we are—13 years into the 21th century: social networking, Twitter, Instagram... In the future people will go, “What's was that?” It will all change—and become more of the same. And still the world, this I guarantee to all the future viewers, “Tell me if there are still janma, mrityu, jara, vyadhi—birth, death, old age and disease? I'm willing to bet that they are still there.” They are inescapable. Mortality is inescapable. Science hasn't made people immortal.

Modern advertising is saturated with humanistic sloganeering. Like Nike, “Just do it!” What does that mean, “Just do it!”? It implies there is some conscience you have, some self-restraint, an internal process you go through before you decide to do something. They’re saying, “Don’t listen to it, don’t think about it, just do it!” So, Nike makes that proposal, who gives the answer? L’Oreal, “Because I’m worth it”. But of all the ads I ever saw, the most blatant, naked assertion of humanistic sloganeering was from a company whose slogan was, “Total indulgence. Zero guilt.” No conscience, just indulge without conscience. Who does things without conscience? Generally, they’re called animals...Bhakti Sudhir Goswamino5.

Even in a secular sense, artists, writers, musicians talk about nding their own voice under the layers and layers of cliché, of clichéd artistic expression. They talk about “trying to nd your own voice”. Even they know how you’re under the in uence of those, who thought and expressed ideas before you. They know, for the most part, what people express is just their regurgitating what they’ve heard from others. And where do they hear it?Bhakti Sudhir Goswaminoyes6. 60s, 70s, 80s | Diminishing Expectationshttp://podcast.goswami.tv/6-60s-70s-80s-diminishing-expectations/

Humanism tries to awaken a competitive ego assertion, where you can envision yourself as an absolute center and try to extend the range of your exploitative capacity—you don't owe anything anyone, you're number one, you're the man, the whole thing... And why? Because “I am worth it!” Whereas Guru Maharaj would say, “Without the grace of Sri Guru we are lifeless clay.”Bhakti Sudhir Goswaminoyes7.

You wake up one day and gure out—you are being inundated with humanistic sloganeering telling you to believe that, “We've moved away from the monarch conception.

Now we have people thinking the most important aspect of their lives is their sexuality, and they need to express that to be free, liberated, and live a life of happiness. So then we have to consider: what is freedom? What is liberation? Freedom for the senses, or freedom from the senses? If you are viewing the self from the outside in and seeing yourself in terms of gender, nationality, age—all of these things, you’re not having a proper glimpse of yourself, and who you are, and what is your potential.Bhakti Sudhir Goswamino9.

We are told, the body is karmic dress. Shall that be the means to de ne an individual? Well, no. It should be, we can’t deny— someone is a human being, someone is a dog, someone is a tree.

The body is the biological expression of the soul’s delusion. So no two are identical, actually, and in that sense not equal. They’re all unique.

Where have I come from? What is my purpose?
What is real freedom, what is liberation, what is spiritual inquiry beyond the base necessities of existence? That's actually the hallmark of spiritual culture. Vedanta says, “Athāto brahma jijñāsā”. Now that you've achieved human life, inquire about Brahman. That's where it begins, that's why it starts with word “athāto”—“now”. Some commentators explained, “It means, now, that you've achieved human life, this is what it's meant for.” What did Socrates say? “The unexamined life is not a life worth living”. Meaning, “ātma-samīkṣa”, self-analysis—to try and understand: who I am? Where have I come from? What is my purpose?Bhakti Sudhir Goswamino12. Who are You?
